about

Written by Monty Harper and Mr. Killough's 4th grade during a residency at Richmond Elementary in April/May 2011. The students came up with the funny weather ideas and I helped shape those into verses. We tried to organize each verse so that the punchline comes at the end.

lyrics

Oklahoma has crazy weather
But we all think that's great
You're really gonna love it when you
Visit - our state

On Monday it snows three inches or more
By Tuesday the temperature's a hundred and four
On Wednesday wind, on Thursday rain
By Friday the weather man's gone insane

Often we have such foggy weather
All the birds get soggy feathers
The sun pops up and the wind blows enough
The birds can't fly with a permanent puff

repeat chorus

Once it rained real cats and dogs
Lizards chickens bats and hogs
But the day I'd say was truly awesome
Was the day it poured down nothing but opossum

Whenever we get thunder and lightning
The way it shakes the world is frightening
Hail so big the whole world shudders
Cows give milk shakes from their udders

repeat chorus

One day it sprinkled down baked potatoes
Sucked up from Idaho by thirty two tornadoes
Cooked in the clouds by a lightning ball
Dropped on our dinner plates butter and all

On a soda pop Tuesday it drizzles cola
Cereal Wednesday brings granola
We wake with a belly ache on the Monday
After every ice cream Sunday

repeat chorus
